Where to hang out in Larnaca?

Bars in Larnaca

Larnaca's cocktail bars differ greatly from the flashy bars in Ayia Napa, offering a charming blend of old and new.

Typically, these are renovated old buildings with dim atmospheric lighting, elegant furniture, and passionate mixologists with cocktail shakers. While prices are slightly higher than in pubs and clubs, you can expect drinks made from fresh ingredients.

Larnaca's cocktail bars are calmer than clubs, so instead of booming beats, you can enjoy your drinks with jazz or chill-out music.

If your ideal evening involves a burger and beer rather than trendy pop tunes, Larnaca has plenty of classic pubs. Places like Meeting Pub, Finnegan’s Irish Pub, and Tudor Inn offer everything you would expect from a British-style establishment, with some extras. Some feature special nights, such as curry nights, while others host live music.
